Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a crystallization process for recovering a pure substance from a liquid mixture, a starting mixture being cooled down in a crystallisation zone to form a crystal suspension from which crystals of the pure substance are recovered, wherein a) the crystal suspension is subjected to a crude preliminary separation in a (preliminary) separation zone to form a first mother liquor and a crystal mass containing relatively small particles, b) the crystal mass formed in a) is allowed to develop in a development zone at a temperature which is higher than that of the crystallisation zone and lower than the melting point of the substance to be recovered, and is separated into a developed crystal mass and a second mother liquor, and c) the developed crystal mass formed in b) is separated into a third mother liquor and the intended pure substance in a separation zone, as well as to an apparatus suitable for performing said process.
